Single-Use Digital - a good thing?

Ritz Camera has announced that it will soon begin selling a $10.99 'Single-Use' digital camera. This two megapixel (CMOS) fixed focal length camera with no LCD carries the 'Dakota Digital' name and is made by 'Pure Digital Technologies' of San Francisco. Each camera allows for 25 images to be taken (although you can apparently delete), the camera must then be returned to Ritz Camera or Wolf Camera where you can produce digital prints and a Photo CD (although the exact cost of this service isn't declared). I feel the majority of users will still be much better off spending a few hundred dollars on a recent known brand three megapixel digital camera. UPDATE: User review online.
